JP3065669U - Existing rain gutter collecting funnel device - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Problem] To provide a funnel type water intake device that can be easily attached to an already installed downspout and has high rainwater intake efficiency. SOLUTION: A water collecting funnel 3 cut in parallel with the other one of the bent pipes is joined to the main body of the water collecting body 4 slightly downward with an adhesive from the back side. The water intake nipple 5 inserted from the back side of the water intake main body into the water collection funnel 3 at the same time as the application of the adhesive is joined to form a water storage funnel. Then, the water storage funnel 7 is inserted and joined to the second insertion port opened in the existing rain gutter.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention is a funnel type water intake device which can be easily attached to a rain gutter.

[0002] Since water shortages have frequently occurred in recent years, there is an increasing tendency to use rainwater without using it as it is and draining it into sewage and storing it in a water tank or a plastic container for effective use.

[0003]

[Prior art]

 In response to this, various rainwater devices that flow down into downspouts have been devised. For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Hei 7-12516 discloses that, with reference to FIG. A joint structure with an intake port for rain gutters, which is configured and provided with an intake pipe 6 connected to the bottom of the guide groove, and the bottom of the guide groove is inclined toward the intake pipe 6, has been devised.

[0004] However, all of the conventional devices incorporate a device such as a joint structure in the middle of the rain gutter, and it is not easy to apply the existing gutter regardless of installation of a new gutter. Therefore, realization of a water intake device that can be easily installed on general rain gutters is desired.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In the present invention, a means for solving the above problem is to make a funnel so that one of the bent pipes is parallel and insert a water funnel with a cut-out part formed in a funnel shape, and attach the water funnel. It is very simple and features improved water intake capacity.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, a means for solving the above problem is to form a funnel so that one of the bent pipes is parallel and insert a water intake funnel having a cut end portion formed in a funnel shape. However, it is simple and has the ability to withdraw water.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 In FIG. 2, one of the bent pipes cut in parallel with the other is formed into a funnel type to form a water storage funnel 7 and inserted into the existing downspout opening 2.

The water collecting funnel 7 inserts the water collecting funnel 3 from the back side of the water intake main body 4 by applying an adhesive. The water collecting nipple 5 is joined to the inserted water collecting funnel 3 by applying an adhesive.

[0009] The water collection funnel 3 improves both water collection and drainage by incorporating the water intake nipple 5 slightly downward at the time of merging of the water intake main body.

[0010] The water storage funnel 7 is a commercially available vinyl chloride resin, and a water collecting funnel can be obtained by cutting one of the bent pipes of a city water supply pipe in parallel with a downpipe material.

FIG. 1 is a vertical gutter having a round hole insertion port 2 provided in a portion where the product of the present invention is installed.

Next, a method of using the product of the present invention will be described. The water collection funnel 3 attached to the back side of the water storage funnel 7 is inserted into the insertion port 2 established in the existing downspout 1. The installation is simple, and the device can be easily installed in the relevant part simply by pushing in.

When rainwater falls into the vertical gutter due to rainfall, the rainwater falls into the collecting funnel 3 and flows into the intake nipple 5. In the embodiment, the water is collected by the collecting funnel 3 and poured into the intake nipple 5. Therefore, all the water collected by the water collection funnel 3 can be collected. Then, the rainwater that has been reliably secured can be stored in a water trough or a large or small plastic container with the intake hose 6. Large plastic containers for agriculture can be taken with trucks.

The water collection funnel 3 is an elliptical funnel and can reliably increase water intake efficiency as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 2 and the longitudinal sectional view of FIG.

The existing downspout 1 is provided with an insertion port 2 for installing a water collecting funnel 3. The gap between the formed downspout and the collecting funnel 3 is designed not to cause the drainage shortage during the heavy rainfall.

[0016]

[Effect of the invention]

 In the present invention, even if the gutter is already installed, the product of the present invention can be attached simply by providing an insertion port, and water can be easily taken from the gutter.

The present invention can improve the water intake efficiency by forming the collecting funnel 3 and can sufficiently cope with the heavy rainfall.

Another feature of the present invention is that it is easy to attach to a downspout and collects water throughout the year, regardless of the size of rainwater, if there is rainfall falling down the downspout. In addition, if the intake hose 6 is held at a position higher than the intake nipple 5 when the water storage amount is fully secured, the intake operation is terminated.

Claims (4)

[Utility model registration claims] An elliptical opening is formed by cutting the other side of the bent pipe in parallel, and this is used as a water intake funnel 3 and a water intake main body 4.
And the intake nipple 5 are united, and the intake funnel 3 is mounted in the insertion opening 2 opened in the existing downspout. 2. It has become easy to easily collect rainwater from an existing downspout using a water storage funnel 7. 3. A bent pipe collecting funnel 3 is the most important feature for collecting liquid. 4. Since the water collecting funnel 3 is attached to the existing rain gutter slightly downward, the water collecting capacity can be maximized.
